Review on πŸ§₯ SITKA Fanatic Jacket in Optifade Elevated pattern by Harry Love

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Give Optifade preference over other destructive templates. Very satisfied!

According to scientists who study camouflage, when creating camouflage you need to do two things: adapt to the environment and change the shape of the human body so that prey does not recognize it can you are. Most camouflages have a strong tendency to blend in with the environment with little regard for disrupting the human form. This Optifade does both, and from all the research I've done on hunter blogs, listened to them on podcasts, and talked to others about it, it does it very well. Remy Warren, another top hunter and guide, stated that in his experience the best camouflage he had ever used was quite destructive. I was able to find several manufacturers of such models: Predator Camo, Firstlite Fusion and Optifade. I was torn between this camouflage and the Predator camouflage because the Predator does exactly the same thing at a better price, but it's the only camouflage that has been extensively researched before being developed by some of the world's top vision experts. One of them even worked at West Point and helped develop the shared digital template you see on all BDUs today. I chose to invest in this over a Predator and I'm glad I did. Compared to the Predator I ended up returning, it's thicker, made of a stronger material and actually fits that well. I am short and went with medium. It is of course ideal to lie underneath in winter. If you're willing to spend money on it, I think you'll be very happy with what you did. I think it will take a very, very long time. From what I understand camouflage is not the most important part of a successful hunt due to mileage control, movement and scent are much higher, but something tells me that this camouflage will give you an edge over others.

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
